Uploading/Downloading Projects via Flash

In addition to uploading/downloading a project through the customary method of connecting a USB cable to a computer
that contains MAPware-7000, you can also use the USB Host port on the HMC7057A-M or HMC7035A-M model to
upload/download projects using a USB Flash Drive. The Flash Drive must be formatted as FAT32. Although Maple
Systems has not tested every Flash Drive manufactured, Flash Drives from the following manufacturers have been found
to work with the HMC7000 units:

PNY: Attaché (4-8GB)

SanDisk: Cruzer Micro (2-8GB)

Transcend: JF V30 (1-8GB)

Kingston: Data Traveler (4-8GB)

Sony: Micro Vault (2-8GB)

When using a Flash Drive with your HMC7000 unit, make sure that all important data is backed up to a safe location on
another storage medium.

Before you can upload/download a project, the HMC must have a project running that contains a screen with a Set Bit
button object. This object is tagged to internal memory bit S00037 – the USB Host Menu trigger:

S00037.

When the project is running, the operator must press the Set button to set internal coil address S00037 (make sure that a
Flash Drive is inserted into the USB Host port of the HMC). This displays the following screen on the HMC:
